A nursery nearby shut down recently. I rode my bike by. All the plants are gone. Some buildings are still there. This may have been a tool shed or equipment garage when the nursery was operating. Now it's just a Red Shack.

While blog surfing one day, I came across a nature site at http://joansnaturejournal.blogspot.com and was intrigued by a photograph of falling leaves. That inspired Red Maple. This is a large painting, four feet wide by three feet tall. This is now gracing the prime spot in our living room over the fireplace.

Trisha's sister Naomi, who lives in Mexico on the Yucatan, took a photograph out of her living room window. It was the inspiration for this painting.
